5/1, won 8-runner maiden at Navan (5.8f, good) on debut 6 months ago, having to pick way through. Bit concerning he's not been seen since, but is open to improvement nonetheless.

Forecasts

Thunder Blaze (1/1), East Hampton (7/2), Dark Ace (6/1), Cradle Of Love (13/2), Gran Habano (15/2), The Duke Mardukas (14/1), Just Jump (33/1), Chriselli (125/1), Fort Star (125/1), Little Lando (200/1), Miss Susanna (300/1)

Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to CRADLE OF LOVE, who is easily the most experienced of these and ran to a fairly useful level when narrowly denied here on her penultimate start. East Hampton confirmed previous promise returning from a break when scoring at the Curragh last month so he can provide most resistance, with another couple of previous winners Sounds Like A Plan and Dark Ace both fancied to be in the mix, too.
